Permitted floor area against what is built

Built on the lot today5,440 sf
Largest scheme with homes: AIRS Senior Housing (100% Affordable)41,548 sf
Largest scheme, any use: Community Facility50,285 sf

That leaves 36,108 sf more floor area than stands here now, if the existing building were replaced. The largest scheme with homes and no affordability obligation holds 31,002 sf (Residential + Community Facility).

City Planning’s PLUTO file lists a residential FAR of 2.43 for this lot, which at 10,800 sf of land is 26,244 sf. The engine’s largest residential-only scheme without an affordability obligation (Max Apartments) holds 23,760 sf, 9% less than that simple multiplication suggests. On this lot the building rules, not the FAR, set the limit; the full study shows which one binds.

  • Narrow street frontage
  • Opportunity Zone tract
  • FRESH food store zone
  • E-designation on the lot

Floor area is zoning floor area in square feet. Highlighted: the largest scheme with homes. Income-restricted schemes (Universal Affordability Preference, AIRS senior housing) require a share or all of the homes to be affordable. Shared housing counts rooms, not apartments. Schemes that need a landmark transfer of development rights, the FRESH food store bonus or a stack of every program are left off this page; the full study shows them.

What these numbers are

As-of-right only: what the Zoning Resolution allows without a variance, special permit or rezoning. Computed by RunEnvelope’s zoning engine on October 23, 2026 from PLUTO 26v2 lot data, in screening mode: the engine uses the City’s recorded lot area and dimensions, not a surveyed lot outline.

This is not a professional opinion, an appraisal or a statement that anything will or should be built here. Existing tenants, leases and the owner’s plans are not part of it.

What a full study checks

  • ■The actual lot outline, street frontages and yards, not PLUTO's recorded dimensions
  • ■Easements, restrictive declarations and zoning lot agreements on record
  • ■Landmark, waterfront and flood rules that apply to the specific building
  • ■Height, setback and floor-by-floor massing, with floor plans
  • ■Unit count, parking and the affordability program terms

Why this lot has a page: we publish pages only for lots that clear a set of data quality and headroom tests.
